Thank you for asking me this question, because I really dropped the ball on the other question that was asked of me.
Benefits are needed, yesterday. People are suffering. They're losing their homes. They can't provide medicines for themselves. They can't eat properly. They're eating Kraft dinner. It's catastrophic. Benefits, benefits, benefits, definitely, and 55 weeks would really help.
It almost seems as if the people who are able to rest in the acute stages of catching COVID may be the ones who recover better. Pacing is recovery. The more you can rest, the more you can pace yourself. By pacing, I mean, doing only what your body tells you that you can do. It's like looking at your day with a battery that's half full, and being able to do only what that allots you to do, with only half the energy that you would normally have. That's how you have to go about your day, and get everything done. You have to prioritize.
Definitely, 55 weeks would be a great help, because if we were to provide aid to people who were trying to recover, they would not have to worry. They could take the time they need. They wouldn't have the stressors that were making things worse. They could relax, and take the time they need. Maybe this could be the difference; it could be the difference.
Thank you so much for asking this question. Yes, absolutely.
